Transcript In your ppt presentation, you must reference any

In your ppt presentation, you
must reference any information,
graphs, pictures, etc. that you get
from other sources.
That means that you have to tell
me where you get information
from
This does NOT mean that you can
copy and paste whole pages of
information and try to tell me that
you ‘did research’.
It DOES mean that you can use
your own words and sometimes
reference facts and figures from
other sources to justify what you
say.
In your ppt, if you use a picture,
you will name is picture 1 or
picture 2 etc.
(If your pic is only for
decoration, you do not have to reference it)
Example:
In Ottawa, many people like to ice skate.
Picture 1
If you use a graph, you can call it
graph 1
Example
According to graph 1, the stock market has
experienced a huge decline.
Graph 1
If you use more than 1 graph or
picture, then after you use 1 graph,
your next graph will be called:
Graph 2
At the end of your ppt, you will have
a reference page where you will
write all the information about the
book or web page where you found
it your pictures and graphs
You have to follow a format. It is
this:
Picture 1: Author. Date (date published).
Title of web page. Retrieved (Date), from
(Title of Web Site): URL.
It may look like this:
Picture 1: Meyers, A. S. 1990. Memories of a time
gone by. Retrieved February 6, 1996, from old times:
http://www.oldtimes.com/~meyers/memories.html
*Please look at where the periods and spaces are. Yours should be
the same.
If there is no author mentioned,
you can write: n.a.
Example:
Picture 1: (n.a.) 1990. Memories of a time
gone by. Retrieved February 6, 1996, from
old times:
http://www.oldtimes.com/~meyers/memories.
html
If there is no date mentioned, you
can write: (n.d.)
Example:
Picture 4: Meyers, A. S. (n.d.). Memories of a
time gone by. Retrieved February 6, 1996,
from old times:
http://www.oldtimes.com/~meyers/memories.
html
You also have to show me where
you get your information from.
That means that when you use facts or ideas
inside your ppt that you got from another
source, you have to put it in your reference
page.
To do this, you also use the
number system: 1, 2, 3, 4
But this time, you put the number beside the
information or ideas that you use in your
writing.
Example
In 1700, a huge earthquake struck the coast of
California.1
In India, people could feel the effects of the
2004 quake for miles around.2
That little number is called a
‘superscript’.
To get it, you can
‘highlight’ your text.
Then right click your mouse. Then
choose ‘font’.
Then choose ‘superscript’
Then in your reference page, you
will give the details of the actual
web page that you found the
information from
Example:
1:Tyrrell, C. J. 2007. Why Earthquakes are cool.
Retrieved October 21, 2008, from mrtyrrell:
http://mrtyrrell.com/earthquakesarecool.html
When you make your reference
page, all of your sources should
be listed in the same order as they
appear in your ppt.
As well as by the type.
That means that you will first list all your
sources of ‘ideas and words’
1: Jones, C. J. 2007. Why I am nice. Retrieved
October 21, 2008, from nicepeople:
http://nicepeople.com/earthquakesarecool.html
2: Tyrrell, C. J. 2007. Why Earthquakes are cool.
Retrieved October 21, 2008, from mrtyrrell:
http://mrtyrrell.com/earthquakesarecool.html
Then you will have your list of
graphs
graph 1: (n.a.) 1990. Memories of a time gone by.
Retrieved February 6, 1996, from old times:
http://www.oldtimes.com/~meyers/memories.html
graph 2: Briggs, Sally 1995. Times are Good.
Retrieved February 7, 1999, from old times:
http://www.oldtimes.com/~meyers/memories.html
Lastly, you will have your list of
pictures
Picture 1: Briggs, Sally 1995. Times are Good.
